i call this (new?) type of test the "vibe check"

david pogue in "how to prepare for climate change" mentions chicago and the great lakes area in general as a "climate haven", so the idea is not complete bs.

i wonder if this is the reason why those little dynamixel motors have been out of stock for months. (i use them in my robots at tapster.)

thank you!

who currently has the most regard for keeping technically interesting projects alive?

there was one glorious day years ago when every story on the hn front page was about erlang. that was fun. (anyone else remember that?)

github stars are a metric of investability.

some investors use stars (and star growth velocity) to determine which projects they invest or don't invest in. (not saying it's good or bad - just saying it's a real thing.)

i've been tempted to use an agent to help me find non-horrible seats to see the 70mm imax version of the odyssey. but that's also the kind of thing that is heavily guarded by anti-bot detectors.

thanks for the extra context. i'm friendly with devs working on the protocol, but looking for ways to get them more support.

ok, cool. looks like i should chat with the fine people at cloudflare, too.

any plans to support webdriver bidi for automation? (i'd be happy to help!)

[edit: for others reading who don't usually nerd out on browser automation protocols: webdriver bidi is the new-ish w3c cross-browser standard inspired by CDP - the main magic was the upgrade to websockets and also to standardize the capture of network-level traffic. there are still feature gaps between CDP and BiDi (in spec and implementation), but long term, i believe we should bet on web standards, not proprietary protocols controlled by one company.

(disclosure: i started the selenium and appium projects.)]

no kidding. it was the last demo in the video, but my first reaction seeing the zippers-instead-tent-poles demo was, "oh, that's going to be huge." weight and "how well does it handle wind?" are concerns, but i could totally see "100% zipper" tents on the market by the end of the year.

since the rise of agentic coding tools, it feels like we're in a new "eternal september" of people discovering ui end-to-end test automation.

not many people talk about mapquest anymore.
